The island of Batam, Indonesia offers well paved roads with very little traffic making for a good cycling day trip.
For me, escaping to the remote island for a day is a welcome change from the traffic lights and constant start-stop nature of cycling in Singapore.

The fact there aren’t many places to cycle longer than 10 minutes without hitting lights, crossroads or traffic; one looks for roads and routes which add some excitement, distance and variety. There are a few options, the tried and true cycling routes and then there are international routes.
